I added an elastic band on top as a waist band.The zipper has a snap buttons on top which is helping it stay close as well.

I used the felt fabric which has a different feel & texture to it. It is a 2 colored pillow with Purple & Indigo on each side.

I filled it with fabric scraps & poly pellets for extra weight.
It was a pretty easy project & was done within half an hour.

This is very easy to do project for those with only very basic sewing skills.

You are going to need :

Half a yard of fabric

One 12 inch long dowel

2 rings from old key chain will work

2 eye screws

Take the fabric & fold it in half lengthwise.

Fold the ends of the fabric about an inch or enough to push the dowel through.

I cut the 12 inch dowel into 2 pieces.

Shove the dowel through one end & sew it shut so that the dowel won’t come out later while in use.

I used a Light Nylon Rope & regular key chain ring for hanging it up. You could also use a regular twine but not quite sure how long it will last.

Cut or scrape 2 holes on the dowel on both sides using a scissors, cut it lengthwise. Then thread the cord through the hole & tie it secure on all four sides. Make sure all the cords are of the same lengths so that the hammock hangs direct way. Also, the cord should be tied onto the dowel so as to bear the weight that goes in the hammock.

Tie the cord and add the rings onto it.

Add the eyescrews onto bottom of the table & screw it tight onto both sides.

Now it’s time to keep your feet up & enjoy!

https://sewingallkind.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/chicken-door-stopper/#commentsMon, 31 Aug 2015 18:52:36 +0000http://sewingallkind.wordpress.com/?p=301Continue reading →]]>I made this door-stopper so that I can leave my doors open without having to use a book or anything heavy as a stop to holdthedoorsopen!

I referred the book ‘Red Ted Art’, by Maggy Woodley for this craft!

I made it using some leftover fabric from a previous project. You will need a fabric the size of 20cms * 11cms.

Use any colored felt fabric & cut out the shapes for the chicken’s Comb, Beak & Wattles. It can be any size you feel like, I don’t have any precise measurement for that. I made 2 sets of them to pick from.

Fold the fabric right sides inside together & keep the felt shapes inside.

Then pin it in place so that they don’t slip, if you are sewing using a machine & hem the ends from the top left through the bottom right, I used a zigzag stitch.

Now bring the fabric inside out & add the eyes for the chicken using a french knot. If you don’t know how to make a french knot check this link out. https://youtu.be/bezNWJgBe0o

Once you are done with the knot it will look something like the picture above & now find some old fabric scraps or some cotton & stuff the quarter of the chicken with it which would be mostly its face.

Then add some poly pellets which are used for stuffing stuffed toys but if you don’t have some handy you can also use some rice instead.

Then get the opposing ends & tuck them in and sew it together which creates a vertical or upright rather than a flat one.

Now the chicken door stopper is ready to be used.

Here’s how it looked when I sew it more than 2 years ago, they wear out so fast under the sun!

Then I found this blog where she explains how to do it but I made some changes to it but somewhat the same!

Here’s my recovered butterfly chair! I used outdoor fabric for this & 2 layers of it so that it can handle heavy weights better!

I recently tried to give a makeover to my dining chairs which have been through a lot of wear and tear. Here’s the one after makeover(on left) & the one before makeover(right). I like the chocolate color as usual, which hides a lot of mishandlings. Its almost time for a new set of dining but wanted to stretch it for a little longer!!!

I used the following stuffs: a heavy or light duty stapler a stapler remover(optional) scissors for cutting fabric a screw driver for removing the pad from the frame a measuring tape a chalk or a marker for marking a 2 yard upholstery fabric for 4 chairs

First cut the fabric into 4 pieces(1/2 a yard each).

Now turn the chair upside down or sideways & using a screw driver remove the seat pad from the bottom.

After removing the seat pad now take the top cardboard or in my case I had the white lining so remove that or you can leave it on & add the new fabric right on top. If the old fabric is really in a bad state then its better to remove it. You can use a stapler remover or a screwdriver to remove it one by one.

Now take the piece of fabric cover & place it wrong side up & the seat pad upside down & draw a line tracing the pad all around it.

You need to draw another line all around the pad leaving a 3 inch width using the measuring tape which is for folding under the chair for stapling.

Cut the fabric out & start stapling all around. Always start stapling at the center of each side holding firmly.

Bundle the corner fabrics into a fold just enough to oust any plaits on top.(that pin didn’t go neatly!)

Once you are done with all the sides its time to put the pad back on the frame.

And now the chair is ready for a new life & here’s my 3 out of 4 chairs after re-covering!(one is still undergoing the process.)

So I made 2 of them which is pretty easy to make. Check out the youtube video I followed below from ‘madebyMarzipan’.
